Marchena is a thriving, prosperous market-town in the province of Sevilla just 60 miles from the City of Sevilla and it’s airport whilst Malaga airport and the costa is about 90 minutes away with virtually the whole route on motorways.
The town has the usual long history beginning in Roman times and with buildings remaining from most eras since! Worthy of note however are the preserved remains of the old town walls including the Torre de Oro and Arco de la Rosa Gate. Then there is the parish church of San Juan Bautista and the Plaza Ducal, a colonnaded square.
Today Marchena offers everything you need for day to day living including Doctors, Dentist, 24 hour Medical Centre, Supermarkets, Banks etc. Local road communications are excellent with easy access to the nearby A92 Sevilla – Malaga/Granada motorway or, rather further away the A4 Sevilla – Cordoba/Madrid motorway.
Public transport includes regular, cheap, buses to Sevilla and all points North, South, East and West whilst Marchena railway station gives connections to Seville and Malaga from both of which a there are high speed rail links to Madrid and beyond.
The town is surrounded by rolling hills and rich agricultural land, La Campiña. The area is also a center for the breeding of Spanish horses and there are many stables in the area. Many of our Marchena houses are in this rolling countryside where you can enjoy country living within minutes of all mod cons.
For me the most eye catching feature of the town are the storks nests! These big birds construct huge nests on the spires and towers of the town and seem oblivious of the human life going on around them.
If you are interested in the Marchena area you should also take a look at these Country Houses in nearby La Puebla de Cazalla.
